September 2019 Wrap Up

Wow what a quick month that was!

A pretty good month of reading for me. Normally after reading about 3-4 books in a row I hit a slump, not this month!

I participated in the Hogwarts House Battles Readathon in team Ravenclaw. Even though I never managed to read all the books in my TBR I still managed 6 with 8 classes complete. Was a really fun readathon and will be looking out for it again next year!

The Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt

Its that time of the week again, hump day! So to cheer myself up thought I'd do a wee scavenger hunt. Without further ado... let's go hunting!

Book Review - Dark Rivers of the Heart

Pages - 728
Format - Paperback


A man and a woman; each of them secretive and hidden, both of the m loners, nomads. A chance meeting in a bar and suddenly they are - first separately and then together - fleeing the long arm of a clandestine, illegal and increasingly powerful agency; the woman hunted for the information she possesses, the man sought because he finds himself obsessed with helping the woman.

The agent in charge of the pursuit is possessed of and uncommon madness and cruelty as he strives to make a perfect world. With access to the government's electronic information banks, surveillance systems and futuristic weapons, he is virtually unstoppable, indestructible - the brazen face of an insidiously fascistic future. But the man and the woman are emboldened by their dark experiences to fight recklessly for survival - their own and each others. . .

Meet the Blogger!

Another Sunday another tag!

This time its the meet the blogger… adapted from the popular ‘meet the bookstagrammer’ tag.



What’s your name & where are you from?

I’m Kym from Scotland in the UK.



When did you start your book blog?

A week ago today!



Would you rather be an author or publisher?
Probably a publisher that way I could read lots of different styles of books & writing before they’re released. Plus wouldn’t know where to start with writing a book.



Do you prefer standalones or series?
Both! It depends on the story, some can be done in the one book but then others need to be a series cause we need more lol!



Which author has been your biggest inspiration?
Would have to say Stephen King. All those books that are intermingled in the same state, yet each one completely different. Plus he’s how old & still rocking it!



Where in the world so you wish to travel to the most?
To be honest if money was no object I’d go everywhere. Every country has so many different things to offer it’s hard to chose just one!



Cats or dogs?
Having a dog myself then I have to say dogs. But don’t mind cats as long as they’re not gonna want to claw my eyes out lol.



What’s your favourite movie?
I don’t really watch movies but loving the remake of Stephen King’s IT. Plus doesn’t matter how many times I watch Shrek it never gets old.



If you got stuck on an island, what 3 books would you want to have with you?
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
IT by Stephen King
Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas
